Yeah, it's Nara. The route runs all the way from Kyoto.
Yeah I've been fiddling with the saddle angle but will try lowering a little too.
Only endo'd because I ran into what was literally a small wall left where there should have been a smooth road repair. Shitty resurfacing work over a pipe or something. Barely got to touch the brake. Long story all together but a nasty confluence of circumstances and it probably would have happened on a 29er MTB too. I'm fine though, fortunately.
Last time I almost certainly went over sideways, though. Yes my face hit the road, but all the lacerations were down one side and I only knocked one knee.
